2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · DV64 JYN

This SEAT Ibiza demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with no defects recorded in the most recent MOT test conducted on 1 May 2025 at 93,214 miles. The vehicle passed all mandatory checks, including emissions, brakes, suspension, and structural integrity, with no advisories or repeat failures. The August 2024 and August 2023 tests also showed clean results, though the near-simultaneous pass and fail in August 2023—just three days apart—suggests either a minor administrative oversight or a brief period of non-use prior to the retest. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues, and the absence of defects across multiple tests indicates that the vehicle has likely undergone consistent servicing for critical components. The recorded mileage of 93,214 miles over approximately 12 years aligns with typical usage patterns for this model, averaging around 7,768 miles annually. The gap between the August 2022 and August 2023 tests—covering 12,152 miles in just over a year—implies active use, though the sudden halt in mileage accumulation between the 81,757-mile fail and the 81,760-mile pass in August 2023 suggests the vehicle may have been stationary for a short period. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, which reduces the risk of prolonged neglect to suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain corrosion. However, the lack of pre-MOT service records means some wear may not be visible without further inspection. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough examination of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear items at this mileage. The brakes, while not explicitly flagged, warrant inspection for uneven wear, binding calipers, or excessive corrosion on the rear discs—especially if the vehicle has been stationary for any prolonged period. Structural integrity should be checked for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these areas are prone to deterioration in a vehicle of this age. The exhaust system should also be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, particularly around the catalytic converter and muffler mounts, as emissions compliance was not explicitly tested beyond the pass/fail outcome. Finally, the condition of the tyres—including tread depth and lateral wear—should be verified, as the absence of MOT defects does not guarantee they have been replaced within the recommended 30,000-mile intervals.
